With this schedule the team can be improved but still end up with a losing record, in my opinion.

Easier schedule than last year, East all has new QBs. We were 1 yard from beating Vandy and making a bowl last year, so we won't have made progress if we don't make a bowl this year.

That's where I am with it. Pig holds onto the ball against UGA. Pig doesn't make an illegal block on a TD run by Dobbs against Vandy. Worley staying healthy the whole season. On and on. With the turnover and huge question marks in the east if they do not make a bowl Butch needs to make some coaching changes.

Unless our defense gives up 30+ a game or our offense looks completely inept, I would prefer to not make any coaching changes. The best thing for our program right now is some stability. It would actually be a breath of fresh air to have the same staff together for at least 3 years. We have gotten too used to coaching changes made on a yearly basis.

An imaginary, impossible to see, reviewed against the guidelines without actual visual evidence yard at that.

I think this year depends a lot on if we can stay relatively healthy. We're awfully young, and still a little thin in spots...and I think that might play into Richmond's decision process too. I would hope, anyway.

I would like to think so. I just don't get my hopes up when competing with Bama for Memphis kids. I have a feeling Bama wins here. Bama pays well especially in Memphis.

I hope like hell you're wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me if you're right. This guy is a must get, number one in terms of importance imo.

So what are our options going forward at LT should we fail to land this cat? It seems as if J Jones will project to guard as will Jashon Robertson, Mosely, Zach Stewart, and Ray Raulerson. I like Thomas at RT at least. What about Austin Sanders and Brett Kendrick? Also guards I presume?

I keep seeing people talk about Jack Jones playing guard and I'm not sure why. Not once have I ever seen Hubbs or anybody mention him at anything other than tackle.

Coleman is playing tackle instead of center. The best guys will find a spot. He'd start quicker if he was a Guard anyways.

I don't know if he will end up at Bama or not, but he is a private school kid. That is a little different. Barrett Jones was a legacy- that is why he ended up there. Richmond has some UT ties and influences. We shall see.

I think he's ours if we have a solid year with a big win. Not that it won't be a battle. But the staff can focus on him and we can sell him on playing LT early.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want them either. But I want to see some progress and more than just plain vanilla with bubble gum screens on offense. Run the playbook and see where the issues are. The first two games should be wins that build confidence. They find out what they really have against OU. Make adjustments and get after it. I really don't expect the defense to regress at all. Personally, I think they will improve overall, especially in the second half of the season. I currently like the defensive coaching better than the offensive side. Hope the offensive guys catch up.

Drew Richmond, OT, 6-5/323, Memphis, Tenn.

Richmond is the number one ranked player in the state of Tennessee. The Vols have needs at offensive tackle which is why the Memphis native has been a priority for Butch Jones since Jones arrived on campus.

The problem is that Richmond is a priority for a lot of schools which is why the Vols have a recruiting battle on their hands with Ole Miss, Alabama, Ohio State and UCLA where he just visited. Some say that the four year move to Los Angeles is unlikely, but Richmond had good things to say about the visit. Richmond is scheduled to visit Ohio State for their Friday Night Lights camp in July and he has a tentative date of September 9th set for his announcement. However that could definitely change.

Tennessee is trying to get Richmond on campus later this month for their second orange carpet day.

These numbers are very solid but really show what a freak mckenzie is when you compare the two.
